Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) possess favorable properties that make them suitable for biomedical applications, including their small size, ready surface modification, and good biocompatibility. Here, we report the covalent immobilization of a synthetic glycopeptide and the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto the surface of carbon nano-onions using the maleimide–thiol “addition reaction”. The glycopeptide and BSA are readily transported inside different cell lines, together with carbon nano-onions, through the endocytosis pathway. Our results show that carbon nano-onions are excellent scaffolds for glycopeptides and proteins immobilization and act as intracellular carriers for these biomolecules. These findings open new perspectives in the application of carbon nano-onions as intracellular transporters in diverse biomedical applications.

We investigated the influence of THz laser radiation of frequencies of 1.15 THz and 3.68 THz and radiation power of about 10 Mw on protein (bovine serum albumin). Using UV spectrophotometry, we revealed increase in the optical density of irradiated samples of bovine serum albumin at the characteristic absorption bands, which is evidence of conformation changes in protein molecules

Fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are envisaged as a novel type of fluorophores. This work reports on the first comparative study investigating the effect of presence/absence/abundance of fatty acids (namely palmitic acid, PA) or other substances (like glycoproteins and globulins) in the protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) on synthesis and properties of the final AuNCs. The most popular template (BSA) and microwave (MW)-assisted synthesis of AuNCs have been intentionally chosen. Our results clearly demonstrate that the fluorescent characteristics (i.e., fluorescence lifetime and quantum yield) are affected by the fatty acids and/or other substances. Importantly, the as-prepared AuNCs are biocompatible, as determined by Alamar Blue assay performed on Hep G2 cell line.

Single-molecule tracking reveals the protein bovine serum albumin exhibits anomalous kinetics with a heavy-tailed dwell time distribution on PEG surfaces. This effect is shown to be caused by the ability of the protein to oligomerize in solution.

 Dalam pengembangan metoda analisis residu antibiotik pada produk pangan hewani secara immunokimia telah dilakukan sintesis imunogen kloramfenikol (CAP) dengan protein Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) dan Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) dengan metoda konjugasi mixed anhidrad. Hasil sintesis digunakan untuk produksi antibodi.Antigen dan antibodi yang dihasilkan dijadikan prangkat analisis residu antibiotik dengan Competitive Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA kompetitif). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metoda konjugasi mixed anhidrad pada preparasi imunogen dengan jumlah CAP yang terkonjugasi ke grup amino bebas dari molekul protein BSA (CAP-BSA) adalah 18 unit dan ke protein KLH (CAP-KLH) adalah 782 unit. Antibodi poliklonal CAP-BSA dan CAP-KLH yang diproduksi dengan rata-rata kandungan IgG CAP-BSA 2,07 mg/ml dan IgG CAP-KLH 2,21 mg/ml.
